We'll kick things off as the sun sets, when hogs are most active. You and your crew will gear up with top-notch rifles and thermal scopes, giving you a serious edge in spotting and taking down these elusive critters. We've got plenty of ammo, so don't worry about running out. If anyone in your group prefers to watch rather than shoot, we offer a ride-along option for an extra $100 per person.

Thermal hunting is a whole different ballgame compared to daytime pursuits. We'll teach you how to read the heat signatures on your scope, distinguish hogs from other critters, and make clean, ethical shots in low-light conditions. The Matagorda landscape offers a mix of open fields and wooded areas, so be ready to stalk through various terrains. We might set up in blinds or do some spot-and-stalk, depending on where the hogs are most active that night.
Folks keep coming back for this hunt because it's unlike anything else. The adrenaline rush of spotting a sounder of hogs through your thermal scope is unbeatable. Plus, you're doing a service by helping control the wild hog population, which can be seriously destructive to local ecosystems and farmland. It's a win-win: exciting hunt for you, and you're helping out the local community.
Wild hogs in Texas are no joke. These aren't your average farm pigs – we're talking about tough, smart animals that can weigh up to 400 pounds. They're most active at night, which is why we use thermal scopes to level the playing field. Hogs have an incredible sense of smell, so we'll be working the wind to our advantage. Don't be surprised if you see groups (called sounders) of 20 or more hogs at once. It's a sight that'll get your heart pumping, guaranteed.
The best time for hog hunting in Matagorda is year-round, but many hunters prefer the cooler months from October to March. During summer, hogs tend to be more active at night to beat the Texas heat, making our thermal hunt even more effective. Remember, these animals are considered invasive in Texas, so there are no bag limits or seasons – it's open season all year long.
We provide the rifles and thermal scopes, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. Wear dark, comfortable clothing and sturdy boots. Bug spray is a must, and you might want to bring some snacks and water to keep you fueled throughout the night. Don't forget your hunting license – we can help you get a temporary one if needed. And most importantly, bring your A-game and a positive attitude. Hog hunting can be challenging, but that's what makes it so rewarding when you connect.

Wild hogs are tough, smart critters that can weigh up to 400 pounds, though most run 100-200. They're everywhere around here - fields, woods, swamps - you name it. These guys are active year-round, but winter's prime time when crops are scarce and they're out searching for food. Hog hunting's a blast because it combines strategy, skill, and a bit of an adrenaline rush. They've got keen senses, so you've gotta be stealthy. The thermal scopes we use give us a big edge at night when hogs are most active. Folks love the challenge and the fact that you're helping control an invasive species that tears up farmland. Plus, wild pork is delicious if you know how to prep it right. One local trick: set up near water sources or crop fields just before dawn or dusk. Hogs often hit these spots when transitioning between bedding and feeding areas. Stay downwind, keep quiet, and be patient - you'll likely see some action.
